About Donner Photos

Hi! We are Nick and Erin. We are a fun loving, adventure seeking, and creative husband-and-wife team. We are passionate about wedding storytelling through photography.

Our Mission

We care about our clients and work really hard to make sure that their wedding day is the best day of their lives. Our mission is to create visually stunning images that our clients can preserve and share with all the important people in their lives for the rest of their lives. We do this by finding out what makes each bride and groom special and building authentic connections with them to create custom, artistic photographs that reflect all the relationships, emotions, personalities, and moments of a wedding celebration.

Award Winning Service

We want to provide a great value to you and your family. We guarantee a 4-week turnaround for photos—much faster than industry standards—and a detailed photography plan to ensure we are not wasting any of your precious time on your wedding day. We are honored to have received the Wedding Wire Couples' and Bride's Choice awards over the last 5 years thanks to great reviews from our clients!

Where We Work

We are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida near Imperial Point, less than an hour from downtown Miami. We also photograph weddings in the Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland area frequently. We love to travel and have done several destination weddings, traveling as far as Santorini, Greece. Call or email us and let's get to know each other!

Had the most unbelievably INCREDIBLE experience as Erin flawlessly captured our once in lifetime event, our engagement. Erin and my boyfriend, now fiancé, were able to communicate, plan, and set up the entire thing while she was in FL and we were in NY. Not only did Erin beautifully capture the moment of surprise, she arrived over an hour early to look over the area to plan a photo shoot after. She was kind, patient, and relaxed as she helped us figure out how to stand, where to put our hands, how to walk, etc. Erin truly made it both fun and personal as she asked us about ourselves and if we had any poses/photos we wanted her to set up.

Oh and the pictures came out PERFECT!!! I cannot stop looking at them and thinking, we are not this pretty, Erin is magical. The variation of shots, effects, lighting (and magic) makes it look like we were out there for hours, when it was really only one.

The entire shoot was so fun and the pictures show how talented Erin is as a professional. Also amazing, we had the pictures only hours after the shoot!! All photos were in color and black and white. I cannot thank Erin enough for how much time and effort she put into our moment! Truly something special to have this memory so beautifully captured by such a talented photographer.

Beautiful and Creative Photography!

We knew from the start, that as a couple, we wanted to hire Erin to capture our big day. Erin previously photographed my sisters 2-part wedding a few years prior and we absolutely loved her and her husband, Nick, and the photos they created. Immediately, we connected with them and therefore, had to hire Donner Photos! From the beginning, communication was easy and clear. We talked by phone and e-mail a few times in the year prior to the wedding and discussed what we were looking for and how we wanted to remember our day. She asked all the right questions and educated/gave us beneficial advice on areas of the day that we weren't sure about. As Erin now lives in Florida, she arrived to our venue early the day of the wedding to scope out places at our vineyard/farm location to take the perfect pictures! And perfect pictures, they were! She uses high-end equipment and really understands the importance of lighting, color, shadows, and different landscapes. She especially made our "getting ready" and "portrait" photo sessions super fun and relaxed and otherwise, works really well with family, friends, and other vendors! As a side note, she even helped me to tie my bow tie when I could not! She is the person you want on your team because she is adaptable, creative, and works hard to make sure you have a flawless day. Erin is a dream and it was an absolute honor to have her share in our special day! Hopefully when we renew our vows down the road, we can have her back to photograph our special moment!

Best vendor or our entire wedding

This was the best money we spent out entire day. The images were everything we hoped for and more. I first meet Erin & Nick when they shot a wedding I was in a few year back in DC. Their images were beautiful. When I got engaged this was the one vendor I was certain I wanted. They also worked so well with my videographer. They were fun to be around the whole day and were so creative with their shots. Best money we spent!

Professional Network & Endorsements

I've known Nick and his wife Erin for approximately a year now. They were initially clients of mine, and I returned the business by leveraging their services for videography / marketing for my landing page. Mind you, I'm meticulous, OCD, and overly careful with my branding so you can imagine how picky I was with my videographer. Furthermore, as a small business owner, I am very frugal for good reason.
Point and case, Nick & Erin are phenomenal at what they do. They have the education and experience to back it up. They delivered everything I asked for within budget. I could not be happier with their work, and I'm thankful to have them as friends, colleagues, and business partners for life!
